How many $ would Rethink Priorities (RP) have to receive to estimate welfare ranges for bacteria, nematodes, and plants with the methodology you used? I would be happy to donate 3 k$ for this. You estimated nematodes have a probability of sentience of 6.8 %, 82.9 % (= 0.068/​0.082) of the 8.2 % of silkworms, and included nematodes and plants in your sentience table. I am interested in this because I think effects on nematodes, and maybe bacteria are the driver of the overall effects of the vast majority of interventions.
